Dialogo launches their brand new Piero Umiliani Legacy Series, with stunning reissues of "Africa" and "Continente Nero", two of the celebrated Italian composer's most important and creatively visionary works, which have been remastered from the original analogue master tapes.
Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. Spectrum is not a compilation so much as a séance. Plastic Records has gathered sixteen tracks that collectively summon the nocturnal soul of an era when jazz, pop, and cinematic ambition collided in recording studios from London to Los Angeles, from Havana to Harlem. The title promises film noir themes, but the truth is more exp…
Tip! **First time Officially reissue. Sourced from the original master tapes and housed in a deluxe gatefold cover.

What happens when you crack open the vaults of Britain's oldest music library and let the smoke drift in? Morphine Mambo Jazz Club answers that question with eighteen cuts of mid-century tension: music conceived in dimly-lit studios for purposes no one fully remembers, now resurrected as a document of a peculiarly British form o…
The record that opened the Redi reissue series: Giorgio Zinzi, Carmelo Carucci and Stelvio Cipriani as the Blue Sharks in 1972, a Moog-coloured mix of rock, funk and soul with a soundtrack flavour.
The second Redi reissue: A.R. Luciani and Paolo Renosto's 1970 Leo Records LP, nineteen short themes written for television that swing between tension, anguish, fun and relaxation.
Rigol (Duilio Radici) and an uncredited Ugo Fusco with the Blue Sharks of It Became Crystal: ten instrumentals for bass, drums, piano and Hammond between beat, jazz-funk and symphonic pop.
A 1977 Wild Cat rarity by a real studio supergroup led by Paolo Casa: funk, jazz-rock and blues opened up by Gabriele Ducros' pastoral flute, recorded at Piero Umiliani's Sound Work-Shop.
Giuliano Sorgini (Raskovich) and Alessandro Alessandroni (Braen) together on a 1975 cult library LP: eleven easy-listening jazz and lounge cues, exotic and carefree, with a touch of melancholy.
Corviria's second and last LP (1980) pushes the dark electronics of Psyco Analysis into kraut and prog territory with the Evil's Suite, abstract suspense cues and Tangerine Dream-like synth pieces.
The 1973 jazz and experimentation volume of the Telemusica series: lounge cues, tense jazz-funk, a waltz warped by electronics and three closing pieces close to the free improvisation of Nuova Consonanza.
Antonio Riccardo Luciani's 1976 Lupus LP for an anonymous quartet of bass, drums and two keyboards in constant dialogue: lean jazz-funk built for 70s crime films, with one guitar cameo on the title track.
Giuliano Sorgini as Raskovich in 1978: eleven tight jazz-funk cues where flute, Fender Rhodes, wah guitar and analog synth meet blaxploitation strings and brass, up to the full-blown chase of Limoni Verdi!
Zuni (Benito Simoncini) in 1983: blues-soaked funk-rock guitar cues on side A, then bass, keyboards and percussion drift towards spacey, cosmic sketches. Eleven pieces named after flowers and shrubs.
Oronzo De Filippi's album about industry for Leo Records: ten harpsichord-led instrumentals moving between jazz-lounge and bossa nova and darker, hypnotic pieces that repeat like machines at work.
First official reissue ever, certified holy-grail. Edition of 300 copies, black vinyl 180gr. Comes with Obi, and original liner notes by Jonny Trunk** At the end of the '60s in Italy - but also abroad, especially in France and England - a very particular trend began to spread, that one known as 'Library music' or 'sonorization': as suggested by its name, those were real music libraries intended for the accompaniment of audiovisual productions such as television programs, advertisements, document…
The holy grail of all the drum-breaks library LP, a true "cult" among DJ and producers, is available again in a faithful replica of the original gatefold sleeve and remastered from the original master tapes. Tullio De Piscopo is a drummer extraordinaire, a constant in Italian music, moving effortlessly between pop, jazz, rock and progressive modes. This record from 1974 could be thought of as the ultimate promulgation of his talent and versatility as a musician, though maybe not quite the ‘Pract…
Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. The Hammond organ holds a chord. The drummer waits. And then - a groove so immediate, so perfectly constructed, that it feels like it has always existed, just waiting to be discovered. This is the paradox of Italian library music: composed for anonymity, destined for something greater.
Twenty tracks from the shadow zone of Italia…
**Edition of 300 copies, black vinyl 180gr. Comes with Obi, and original liner notes by Jonny Trunk** This is a masterful blend of spectrally-processed sounds, electronics, Musique Concrete, minimalistic passages and harder-hitting experimentations, all held together under the leadership of the revered composer Giuliano Sorgini – making this album's one of the greatest Italian library of the 60-70s. At the end of the '60s in Italy - but also abroad, especially in France and England - a very part…
